Summary
Evaluate code review feedback with technical rigor before implementing, avoiding performative agreement and blind implementation.
- Verify feedback against actual codebase behavior, test coverage, and architectural context before proceeding
- Ask for clarification on unclear items before implementing anything; partial understanding leads to wrong fixes
- Push back on suggestions that break functionality, lack context, violate YAGNI, or conflict with established decisions using technical reasoning
- Implement multi-item feedback in priority order (blocking issues first), testing each fix individually to catch regressions
- Acknowledge correct feedback through action and specific description of what changed, not gratitude expressions
